>Advanced administrators may wish to customize the Permissions system to take advantage of the fine-grained access control that PostNuke provides.
</P
><P
>In most cases this is accomplished by assigning users to Groups. All members of a particular Group will have the same level of access across the site. Create as many Groups as complexity of the site requires.
</P

>An example of an advanced Group setup might be:
